The Great War for New Zealand – Vincent O'Malley

The Great War for New Zealand is a monumental account of the defining conflict in New Zealand history. Focusing on the Waikato War of 1863–64, Vincent O’Malley explores how this conflict shaped the nation, setting back Maori–Pakeha relations by generations and allowing the government to assert control over the country that had eluded it since 1840.

Spanning nearly two centuries, from first contact to settlement and apology, the book examines the origins, human impact, and long-term consequences of the wars. Meticulously researched and richly illustrated, this groundbreaking work emphasizes the importance of understanding and owning the full history of Aotearoa.
